Your questions to a former al-Qaeda operative turned MI6 double agent.

Former al-Qaeda operative turned MI6 double agent "Aimen Dean", the author of Nine Lives: My Time as Mi6's Top Spy Inside al-Qaeda, answers listeners' questions.

Your questions to a former al-Qaeda operative turned MI6 double agent. "Aimen Dean", the author of 'Nine Lives: My Time as Mi6's Top Spy Inside al-Qaeda', talks to Nihal about his involvement in fighting global terrorism. After we hear from Chef Shaheen Peerbhai who has joined forces with Jennie Levitt to release their cookbook, Paris Picnic Club. Then Nihal discusses the issue of how football players should deal with any racism they may face at the World Cup in Russia. England manager Gareth Southgate said the 'idealistic' response would be for players to walk off the pitch but also said doing so could cost them their place at the tournament. And we're joined by Kim and Sophie from GirlGuiding who are taking part in an event this weekend which will mark the achievement of the suffragettes.
